In recent years,the issue of Early Childcare has become the focus of attention in the field of preschool education.By using Citespace(6.1.R1)software tool,I conducted a visual analysis of the literatures on Early Child-care collected by CNKI from 2012 to 2022.The research shows that the number of literatures has shown an obvious upward trend in recent ten years,however,the core author group has not yet formed.The mainly research institutions are education institutes of normal universities and China Population and Development Research Center,the mainly research hotspots are Childcare Policies,Childcare Service and Childcare Talent Development.At present,there is still room for further research in term of research content,research methods and research perspectives.In the future,the research content of childcare should be further enriched and deepened,quantitative research should be strengthened in research methods,research perspectives should be more diversified,and interdisciplinary cooperation research should be further strengthened.
